Land use changes in the last half century and their impact on water retention in the Šumava mountains and foothills (Czech Republic)

Abstract: Changes in land use and runoff characteristics in Otava river basin and its two subcatchment (Volšovka and Vydra) were examined. The goal was to find out how water retention have responded to changes in landscape management in Šumava mountains and foothills since the year 1970. There were two basic levels of changing land use -(a) conversion of arable land with varying intensity at different management of intensive and extensive grassland, (b) deforestation of large areas of indigenous mostly spruce monocultur… Show more

“…Additionally, it can provide an insight into the structure of historical land use, which might have been more ecologically orientated than at present. In general, the deforestation leads to faster water run-off, and vice-versa vegetated areas are capable of retaining a higher amount of water upstream and preventing floods downstream (Graf, 1975;Bystřický et al, 2017). Analysis of past land use can provide useful insight on how to steer landscape management, e.g., how to direct land use towards more resilient and sustainable form in order to prevent flooding (Doležal et al, 2018).…”
